Genius (KU Leuven)
Also known as KU Leuven Genius; VSC Genius Tier-2
Operated by KU Leuven .
Phase 1 seed dataset, compiled by hand. These rows were built from public operator, laboratory and vendor sources. A mechanical second-reader pass has since fetched every cited source: 1263 of 1345 systems have a readable citation that names them, and 56 are genuinely weakly sourced. Every claim carries its source and a confidence tier. Treat anything below verified as a lead, not a citation.

Figures are as last publicly reported for the configuration described below, not a live measurement. Where a system was upgraded in place, the post-upgrade configuration is shown and the earlier one appears in the timeline.
What this machine is made of
One row per supplier relationship. “Supplier at build” is the company that shipped the part at the time; where that company has since been acquired, the parent it rolls up to today is shown beside it. That distinction is what makes ticker-level aggregation possible across a thirty-year dataset.
| Role | Part | Supplier at build | Quantity | Confidence | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accelerator | NVIDIA Tesla P100 Accelerators CUDA (Pascal GP100) · 3,584C · 1.48 GHz · 16 nm · 300 W NVIDIA P100 SXM2 GPUs, 24 devices in 6 nodes | NVIDIA | 24 reported | Reported | docs.vscentrum.be |

The read
A KU Leuven/UHasselt Tier-2 cluster of the Flemish Supercomputer Centre. The VSC hardware page records production from 2018 to the end of September 2026 and lists 230 thin nodes (86 Skylake Xeon Gold 6140, 144 Cascade Lake Xeon Gold 6240 and 4 AMD EPYC 7501 nodes), 10 big-memory nodes with 768 GiB, one Superdome node with 8 Xeon Gold 6132 CPUs and 6 TiB, and 6 GPU nodes with 24 NVIDIA P100 SXM2 GPUs linked by NVLink, all on InfiniBand EDR; the GPU resources moved to wICE after the decommissioning. An earlier version of the page described more GPU nodes. No whole-system FLOPS or core total is published, so none is recorded. Operator documentation only, so the tier is reported.

Source check
We fetched this system's own citations and recorded whether each page actually mentions it. This is a corroboration signal, not a fact check, and it is published so you can see how well the sourcing holds up rather than take it on trust.
| Cited source | Result | Found on the page |
